Tim Tebow

[Integrity28]

Go away.

Seriously, I cannot remember a draft where the coverage was this singular in focus on one player.

I didn't mind the Thursday night start, and gaining back a weekend... but the coverage was the pits.

All Tebow, all the time... Even NFL Network shoved the lame Primetime Deion interviews in our faces instead of telling us about the prospects. It was much more oriented to the Superbowl viewer (women and children), rather than the draftniks (football fans).

No way this guy EVER plays up to this hype.

Crowd was ridiculous in chanting Tebow sucks.

Tebow DOES suck

[Ghost]

Tebow does suck. He's not going to be successful.

[villain_the_foe]

Tebow does suck. He's not going to be successful.

TEBOW DOESNT SUCK. HE'S GREATNESS! (Sarcasm).

Seriously though, It did seem like he got alot of coverage, but you have to understand...the kid has been receiving alot of hate as well. Everyone saying that he cant make the transition, Jerry Jones talking shyte about him while drunk....even this very thread. For a guy that seems to suck he surely gets alot of hate/love.

Just sayin. (never mind my avatar)

Im rooting for him because he seems to receive such hate yet I've only seen this kid do right things.

[rillo]

LMAO! Really?

[PS17]

LMAO! Really?

Absolutely dreadful trade for Denver. Dreadful.

[Vudu]

He still wouldve been there in RD 2. Broncos are stupid.

[CTM]

1) he is defiinitely a weird dude

2) he reminds me of VInce Young in a lot of ways

[Smashmouth]

Tebow is a good kid and I hope he becomes a damn good QB. I was happy he got picked.

[Boozer76]

Tebow is a very good kid, I can never dispute that. The problem is he plays a brand of football that alot of prior, failed, NFL QB prospects played. He makes poor reads, has an awful throwing motion, and poor footwork. He runs the ball well, but isn't phenominally fast. He gets alot of love (and hate) because he is religious and by all accounts clean. I hate to say it, but if he were a black prospect with the same phyisical attributes and no religious ties we'd be talking about him playing TE without batting an eyelash.

It all comes down to the team that signed him and what they expect they can do with him. Ill bet he can play QB better than Jamarcus right now and he was the number 1 pick in the draft.

vince young?

I wish Tebow the best of luck.

I wonder who his HC is going to be by the time the team is willing to put him on the field.

The Broncos had a bad draft last year and this year hasn't started well.

They traded more talent AND picks (with Tebow move).

They went 2-8 after starting 6-0. McDumbass is not long for the HC job.

[Smashmouth]

vince young?

Only difference is Vince young made his adjustment his last year of college and started to really improve his release and complention percentage . Tebow just played the way he fit in the offense and didnt bother to make changes in his game until after college. he seems to be a quick learner and im not sure he will be hard to teach at all. Sometimes small mechanic issues (throwing) are harder to correct than the big ones.

It seems they are going to give him at least 3 or 4 years to get this team to SB contention. Just by the moves they have made dictates that. If Tebow is not ready in that time span he probably never will be.

Whats weird about this situation is if Tebow is a 2-4 Year project to play QB wont that be happening right when the team is ready to contend ? So will McDUmbass be replacing his QB with Tebow at the same time his team is ready to contend ?

[JiFtheOracle]

The haters cant hanlde it. All the hate, all the b.s. about him being ****, and he was still drafted in the first round. Cracks me up. Who knows how he will end up, but I wouldnt bet against a kid with that much heart.

I guess people just like thugs turd losers more than good kids who are winners. Love how many of you can see in the future and are posting on a message board and not a scout for the NFL.

+1

I cant front, he has some things that he needs to address as a QB, but I think he can do it and I think his dedication alone will allow him to not only be successful but be a QB that in a way will defy the odds of what at QB is supposed to be in this league.

.... if he were a black prospect with the same phyisical attributes and no religious ties we'd be talking about him playing TE without batting an eyelash.

Actually, toward the end of the season the TV announcers were talking about him not being that good a QB prospect and how he might turn up as a tight end.

I wouldn't be taking a victory lap based on a personnel decision made by McDumbass. That's just a notch above Al Davis.

You're on a roll Jif. Tebow is going to shock some people.

What victory lap? I didnt predict anything. Its just funny all the hate the kid gets and its hilarious that its thrown in all these message board experts faces and they cant handle it.

McDumbass decision making >>>>> SMC

I cant wait to see the Broncos play against the Cowboys and Tebow destroys the boys for what their owner said.

Gotta love it.

[THE ILK]

Good for Tebo!

[JetCane]

Me neither.

[rillo]

Bronco's gave up that much, for a guy that *might* be ready in 2 or 3 years? I doubt it, Tebow will be starting some time this year IMO. I wish the guy the best.

[HessStation]

I will say this. D Thomas was a good pick.

Villain you have a very positive outlook on alot of things and thats very refreshing. As long as you dont go anywhere near VG

I've heard that the Bills were trying to trade up for Tebow.

I think its the opposite. Any time people talk about converting a black QB there are accusations of racism. But when you convert white QBs no one cares at all. Eric Crouch won the Heisman and no one batted an eyelash when he was converted to safety.

[Irish Jet]

I like Tebow a lot. Why does he get so much coverage? I dunno, maybe because he was one of the greatest college CB's of all time!

He's an absolute warrior on the field, in ways Chad Pennington can't even imagine and physically he is a beast. The mechanics are a huge problem that he'll have to overcome but like JiF said I wouldn't bet against him.

He does all the right things and yet gets some serious stick simply because he's religious? Wow.

Yep. Its astonishing. I know religion is a touchy subject, but I much rather hear about his faith in God then some rape artist thug, who does drugs, beats women and carries guns.

[124]

Tim Tebow makes you hate religion and virgins.

When God drifts down and you can actually see him take your arm and make you throw a 40 yard TD pass, then lets thank him all the time after games and such. Until then, STFU.
